Thank you all for your comments and concerns. They are all very much appreciated.
Yesterday was the first time I had any energy to get out and take pics. And it was such a beautiful cold day. You know how you get "cabin fever" if you stay in the house too long?
Have you used the oil paint filter? Very effective . Lovely painterly shot. I didn't know you'd been poorly too. I've was in hospital for 6 days with pneumonia but am getting much better now. I hope you weren't seriously ill and that you too are getting better.
